Nice flow-formed wheels at reasonable prices can be had in the 22 lb / 10 kg range. I saved 40+ pounds of unsprung weight from my '22 by immediately swapping the rims. If primarily driving on the street, they're a nice sweet spot between cast and forged. If tracking often, I'd gravitate to the...

Being an old, Fortune 100 company, I suspect Ford has a lot of networks which not only operate using different, legacy software applications, the physical networks themselves have never been integrated. Site X has a fine layout, but when attempting to transfer database, inventory or shipping...

For the moment, you can discount FORSCAN; they currently cannot support 2024MY Fords. https://forscan.org/home.html "Ford, Lincoln, Mercury models of 1996 - 2023MY (some models of 1994-1995MY are also supported). Attention: Some 2023MY Ford models may not be indentified (we work on it)...

That's my bad. I'd posted the guide I had, which is from 2022. The attachment did list Pirellis and has some wording for any tire made by them. For 2024, the verbage has slightly changed. First, a link to general coverage, all tires...

I assume these photos were taken upon the car's arrival at the dealer. I'm confident they'll receive a new set. The dealer will file a claim towards Ford and the shipping company. This car would not have been released from PDI. I believe it's a general rule, but I had three to four days to...

If you're not already familiar with the item, Ford vehicles also ship with a special filler funnel, so you can use a portable gas can, when needed. The small, white funnels are often in the trunk. Mine (S550) attaches to a special clip. The funnels also come in handy when attempting to add...

https://gyeonusa.com/products/q-m-interior-detailer I've used Gyeon's Interior Detailer and been happy with the results. https://www.autogeek.net/glass-cleaner.html I've also been using Invisible Glass on a variety of surfaces. Whenever you clean your screens, I'd do so in a covered area...

On the S550, a good setup a lot of people run is 19x10, +35ET, square; this will allow you to run an AS tire at 285/35/19, either Continental or Michelin. I don't believe the S650 suspension changed, so this square setup could be something to consider. Mach I HP wheels +24 front, +52 rear...

I can appreciate hesitating on a purchase now, with what you described. If you have made up your mind, consider cancelling your current order, with the suggestion to them you'll buy a 2025. The dealer will have a car on the lot he didn't anticipate, with options or color which might be a hard...

I looked back at a few recent MYs. Both 1) MY changes happen and 2) order banks open in the Fall. October, let's say. Production starts as soon as November of that year and as late as January in the next. My personal experience in late 2021 and into 2022 followed this format. Edit: with...

Regarding anniversary colors and possible throwbacks, attached are two files, for 1964 1/2 and 1965.

Traditionally in the US, the Model Year (MY) rolls in the Fall, September/October timeframe, with order banks opening then. Last year was kind of weird, with an abbreviated 23MY and an advanced 24MY. This year, 2024, things should re-sync and return to the typical cycle. I have only history, and...

I see what you're saying now. On the blue, the tail lights are subdued. White, they look almost lit.

https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/dark-horse-order-fail-news-letter-from-ford.159369/ I always like to confirm if the supporting dealer has/had an allocation (a slot on the line, with the necessary parts) for a DH HP? Does he? Did he? Every Ford vehicle order has to be matched with an...

For those of you considering PPF, attached are two examples. One is along the rocker stripe. The other, rear taillight area. The paint itself is clear, naturally glossy. It displays as a polished finish, but not glassy or fake.

For my car, I had them bring the PPF right up to the stripe. I did not cover the stripes. One option for anyone with stripes is to use clear matte (or gloss) and create a ghost stripe. PPF is installed as mine was above. Then, a piece of PPF is fab'd to go on top of the factory stripe. I...

Regarding the comments on aero, I'm thinking...I've got a gurney flap I can take on and off. If the rocker hole is aiding in track-speed grip, can Ford (or aftermarket) incorporate a removable cover:question:

In addition to a white one seen previously, I noticed JADA is now producing a DH in blue. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145543018299?hash=item21e30a373b:g:MzcAAOSwhhNlnrt~ https://www.ebay.com/itm/404684000959?hash=item5e390bcebf:g:OhQAAOSwAx5lgIpb These models are 1:24 scale. I've yet to see 1:64...

Neighbors, Google, social media and other searches are a good start, followed-up by BBB checks. Local car shows in the Spring could be a great avenue to solicit referrals for general maintenance. I feel the same way though. IDK, things have changed. Years ago if we received a "cool" car, it was...

Depending on the area you live in, seek out a local speed shop or mechanic. Many are often owned by enthusiasts, people who understand and respect things better. The maintenance can be updated via the Ford Pass App, which allows the owner to upload notes, photos and receipts. CarFax also allows...
